Lately, the Group has expanded its business from insurance to the wide area of asset management and financial services.

Generali shares were first listed in 1857 in the stock exchange of Trieste. Twenty years later, the company started to pay out dividends annually and since then, it never stopped, not even during the world wars or other serious international financial crises.
